Geocache Description:

Did they find gold nuggets by the truckload in the heyday of the gold rush era in Otago?

It certainly looks like it, and apparently this load never made it to the bank.

Gold is still being mined on Bonspiel Station, which also offers a gold panning experience, and accommodation in old stone huts built by Chinese gold miners in the 1860s, and in the old Moa Flat Hotel.

The cache is a green painted 200 ml Sistema container hidden nearby.

Update: Or not hidden as the case may be. We believe the children who use the bus shelter keep an eye on the cache, and often leave it sitting in full view
